Percy and Annabeth were finally happy. They couldn't believe their luck, this never happens. There is always some quest to complete. They had finally met up at the roman camp and were now flying away, not so peacefully, together. Eight months they had been separated, and now they were so happy to be together that they didn't care. Now they were so happy to be together that they didn't care about the chasing Romans, at least not yet.

They were talking to each other on the deck, just sitting there catching up and sharing memories. This was all super sweet, probably romantic, until Festus happened. Annabeth didn't know why now was the moment the dragon decided to start screaming. Percy and Annabeth decided to check it out.

Leo came running up, probably coming from the steering wheel, and ran to Festus. He began to laugh loudly.

"Ha, Festus that made my day!" Leo shouted through laughter.

Annabeth gave him a weird look "What's so funny?"

Leo turned around "Oh um, Festus just found his new favorite treat!"

Percy looked confused "Wait that's why he was screaming I was starting to freak out! I thought we were being attacked. Wait, what's his favorite food?" Annabeth slapped her forehead.

"You ask that, why?" Annabeth said giving Percy one of those 'really seaweed brain, now' looks.

"Percy my man, just like every one of our friends on this ship, Festus is a true American..." Leo started.

"Um Leo, Frank's Canadian" Percy informed Leo.

"Well than, this is extremely awkward. Anyway, as I was saying, Festus loves bacon!"

"He likes bacon? Really Leo, he likes bacon?" Annabeth inquired.

"Yes Annabeth, bronze dragons, whom breathe fire and terrorize camps, do have to eat."

The couple shared a weird look. What the heck did Leo say that for?

"Well, I thought when I first met him that he needed something to eat, so I gave him bacon" Leo said shrugging off the weird looks.

Leo walked back to the steering wheel as Jason came up. He took one look at the weird looks on his new friend's faces and said one thing "Leo?"

"Leo" they said together as they walked off together. They went to a place far away from bacon eating happy dragons.


Piper and Jason were starting to worry. The boat looked like it was floating off course, and not in a good way. All of a sudden Frank showed up and nodded, he felt it too, and all three of them stood up. Ever since Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus, life has been hard. The two boys and Piper ran the helm of the ship to see who was steering the ship. What they saw was mildly disturbing.

It was Leo, half standing, sound asleep at the controls

Jason knew Leo had been beating himself up because of the fall. He barely got any sleep, and when he did, well they weren't pretty.

For once it looked like he was having a nice dream. He as lying on the control pane snoring.

There was no screaming.

There was no panic.

There was no begging,

There was no sign of distress.

He almost looked happy.

"Unlimited ice cream, I want some!" Leo said in his sleep, sounding happy.

"Hey, anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?" Frank asked.

"That he is extremely tired and over worked?" Piper replied.

"No, that he is in the best dream in demigod history! Unlimited ice cream, man I wish I was there!" Frank laughed, but stopped. "Except I'm lactose intolerant."

"Uh, Frank" Jason muttered.

"What, a guy can dream, right?"

"I'm not going to answer that, but what do we do with Leo?"

"Festus stop melting my ice cream! Find your own ice cream to melt!" They all burst out loud at Leo comment.

"Well, we should get him to his room before I want to eat more than I already do" Jason suggested.


Annabeth woke up to yelling. The ship was tilting back and forth. At one point she thought she was going to fall over. She walked into the hallway and looked around. She saw Piper and Frank coming down the hallway.

"Frank? Piper? What's going on?" Annabeth asked them.

"Leo's driving." Piper frowned. "Oh no, could he have fallen asleep again?" Piper asked.

"Again?" Annabeth asked. 'Has he fallen asleep before? I've never seen him stressed.' she thought.

"It's been a couple times now, but it could be" Frank said.

From above she heard "Okay, who let the balloons lose?"

"Oh gods, he's going to freak out if we don't hurry" Piper said running through the door.

"Going to?" Frank asked. Piper turned around and glared at him, then left.

When they got to the control room, Jason was already there. "Leo, what's going on? Why's the ship rocking?"

Leo turned and looked at us "Oh, just that people don't know how the share the sky!" he shouted.

"Um Leo, there's traffic in the sky?" Frank asked laughing.

"Yes Frank! Okay, there must be a wedding or something because here comes the doves! Oh come on!" Leo was now beating the wheel in anger.

"Um, maybe you need a break?" Annabeth suggested.

"NO! OH MY GODS! REALLY, YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED ON A HOT AIR BOLLOON!" He started pounding on the glass. "HURRY UP ALREADY!"

"LEO! TURN NOW, WE'RE GOING TO CRASH!" Piper yelled.

"Backseat driver much?" Leo growled.

"Okay Leo, you're getting a break, now!" Jason said dragging him out.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"

"OH, I'm taking you!"

Once they had left the three stared at each other and said "Awkward!"


When Frank saw Leo looking through binoculars at the ground, he'd thought Leo had finally lost it. It looked like he might have been there for hours, unblinking, looking at the exact same spot.

"Um, Leo what are you looking at?" Frank asked.

"Big Foot." Leo said with a straight face.

"Dude, are you serious?" Frank laughed.

"Yes seriously, we live in a world full of gods." Leo informed.

"Yea, so what's your point?" Frank asked.

"Big foot could be real." Leo demanded.

"Um, sure?" Frank said.

"We live in a world full of gods, but you can't believe that Big Foot could be out there." Leo explained.

"Leo, are you sure?" Frank asked.

"Oh, I just saw something!" Leo shouted running to the rail.

"Leo, how long have you been out here?" Frank questioned.

"6 hours I think, why?" Leo answered.

"Okay buddy, it's over, let's take you inside." Frank said dragging him in.

"But I saw something!" Leo shouted. Of course Jason heard and came up looking for his friend.

"Hey Frank, um Leo, what did you do?" Jason asked curiously.

"He was looking for Big Foot for six hours, and he thought he saw something" Frank informed.

Jason gave Frank this weird look. "Um yea, you should get some sleep Leo."

"YOU ARE ALL NON-BELIEVERS!" Leo shouted bring the rest of the crew (Piper and Hazel) running up.

"Um Leo, what's going on?" Hazel asked.

"He was looking for Big Foot." Frank said.

"How is that..." Piper started.

"For six hours" Jason interrupted

"Oh?" Hazel said.

"Okay Frank and Jason, take him down." Piper said.

Both boys lifted him up and took him down stairs. The girls could hear him screaming "Uncle" and "Please don't drop me" as they took him down.


Leo was in the kitchen when the fire alarms went off. All his friends came running in and burst out laughing. What they saw was hilarious, for everyone but Frank and Leo. Leo was on fire screaming at a poorly made cake.

"Um Leo, I hate to ask this, and I'm afraid to know, but what happened?" Jason asked curiously.

"I was trying to bake a 'welcome-back-to-from-Tartarus-cake'. I thought I might help cheer you guys up." Leo explained.

"Let me guess, it didn't go so well?" Percy asked while laughing.

"Yea, THE CAKE BLEW UP!" Leo shouted in rage.

Jason came over to Leo, who was still on fire."Calm down its okay, we can clean this up."

Leo walked out of the room. A moment later you could hear a fire extinguisher going off in the hallway. Then Leo came in covered in foam.

"I'm all good now." Leo exclaimed.

As soon as Leo left, Jason started baking a cake. Everyone, but Leo, was baking. Leo was busy trying to get the cake out of his hair.

"Ok guys, we have five minutes to decorate the cake before Leo gets back, so we need to hurry." Jason said.

When Leo walked into the dining room ready to eat dinner, he was shocked to see a giant cake that read:

Thank You Leo!

Leo was so happy. Then as if things couldn't get better, all his friends came out and hugged him. He was so defiantly happy.


Piper was up late one night reading a book. Most Aphrodite Girls don't read often, but she was Piper. Well, to be fair it was a romance novel. Anyway while she was reading she heard someone shouting. She heard it coming from Leo's room. 'Oh brother what was he up to now.' She thought.

She snuck out of her room and knocked on Leo's door. When she didn't get a response she opened the door. What she found was one of the most hilarious things ever. Leo was sitting in his bed eating pop corn watching TV. He was so focused on the TV he didn't even notice she had walked in.

"Leo, why are you screaming?" Piper asked. When he finally looked up at her, he glared at her.

"SHHHHH! Let them finish the song!" Leo shouted. She was confused, what song? Then she noticed the show he was watching. Ever since he had gotten on the boat, he'd watched this one show called Glee. I guess you couldn't blame him, he never really had a chance to watch too much TV while he was on the run all the time.

"Leo, why were you shouting?" Piper tried again.

"SHHHHH!" Was all she got from him. With all the commotion they had accidentally woken up Jason.

"Leo, what are you shouting about at three in the morning?" he asked.

"Gosh, you guys ruined the moment! Oh no, don't kiss her, that might help your relationship, but it won't be liked by the judges! No! It's too late, he kissed her. They just lost nationals." Leo shouted at the television.

"Um Leo, what are you watching?" Jason asked. I almost yelled at him. He was just going to start Leo talking about Glee, and by the time Leo stopped talking, Jason would know everything about the show.

"Only the best show ever, Glee!" Leo explained not taking an eye off the screen. "I mean, I'm all for Finchel as anyone one but still, now is not the time to kiss."

"Finchel?" Jason asked confused.

"That's it, everyone out! I just missed them losing! Oh, Santana's going off got to go, bye!" Leo shouted at them shutting the door.

"Ok, what was that?" Jason asked.

"Do you really want to know?"


Leo waltzed out with a sheet of paper. Everyone was silent when they looked at it. That's when everyone finally got what it was, a family tree.

"I am not your kill-joy uncle!" Jason yelled.

"I am so not you sort-of-pretty-step-sister!" Piper yelled.

"I am never going to be your bossy cousin!" Annabeth rebelled.

"Leo, what do you mean your "Really-weird-older-cousin'? Frank asked.

"I am not your zombie aunt!" Hazel yelled.

"I am not EMO!" Nico shouted.

"Really Nico, that's what's wrong?" Percy asked.

"And I am not your uncle" Nico said quietly.

"Wow, you're my uncle yet your younger!' Leo laughed.

"I'm over eighty years old!" Nico replied.

"WOW, you look good for your age!" Leo teased.

Nico looked about ready to beat Leo into the middle of next week, when Jason stopped him. Everyone then started yelling at once. Leo began to sing:

We are family!

I got all my brothers and sisters with me!

We are family!

After that everyone was silent, then they burst out laughing. They then hung up the family tree which included:

- Awesome Leo

- Kill-Joy Uncle Jason

- Sort-of-pretty-step-sister Piper

- Emo Uncle Nico

- Really-weird-Cousin Frank

- Zombie Aunt Hazel

- Bossy Cousin Annabeth

- Uncle Percy


In the Mark of Athena, Rick dedication to Speedy says "Strays and Wanderers are often sent by the gods". This story right here is in memory of a special dog, whom may not have been a stray, but definitely wandered into my life at the perfect time. He was definitely sent by the gods, and will be missed by all.

Percy thought he heard barking from outside the ship. When he walked outside, he saw Leo with a little black and white Boarder Collie. Its coat was mostly black, but between the dog's eyes was a white stripe. It couldn't have been more than a year old.

"Dude, did you get a dog?" Percy asked.

"No, I just found him outside the ship." Leo answered.

With that he walked into the ship and into the dining hall. He put the sleeping puppy on the floor and ran to the kitchen to get food. When he came out, he brought two bowls with him. One was filled with left over chicken. The second bowl was filled with tap water.

Leo picked the puppy up and brought him to the food.

"Why do you care so much for this little guy?" Percy asked while petting the puppy. He had never seen Leo so focused on something since he had met him.

"Well, he's a run away like me. I guess I feel a connection." Leo whispered. Leo brought the puppy into a hug. "What should we name him?"

"I don't know, I think you should choose." Percy suggested.

"Runner" Leo stated.

"Huh, Leo what are you talking about?"

"Runner, that should be his name."

"Perfect, and Leo don't worry. I'll make sure that no one takes him away." Percy promised.

"Why is there a dog sleeping on my feet?" Hazel asked, after sitting down in the dining room.

"Oh, that's Runner." Leo explained. "I found him last night outside the ship."

"And he's staying with us to, he'll be awesome addition!" Percy added.


Leo had spent the last couple of days hanging out with Runner. Right now, as Frank walked in, he was watching a movie with him. To be exact, they were watching Beverly Hill Chihuahua. They were curled up together, and whenever the music came on Leo would sing:

Chihuahua

dun uh dun dun dun dun

Chihuahua

dun uh dun dun dun dun

Leo looked like he was having fun with Runner. This dog was bringing out the 'Happy Leo' out. He seemed to get more sleep, he smiled more, and didn't work himself to death.

"Hey Leo, how's Runner doing." Frank asked.

"Fine, we're watching Beverley Hill Chihuahua!" Leo replied.

"I would have never guessed." Frank said rolling his eyes.

"I even got Runner a little hat to go with the movie!" Leo said bringing out the world's biggest hat for a dog. It was wide-brimmed yellow and red sombrero. He placed it on the little guys head and looked at him. The dog didn't even squirm. He seemed excited about having a hat on his head, and started barking. "See, he loves it!"

"Ok then, I'll leave you guys to it." Frank said leaving. The last thing he heard was:

Chihuahua

dun uh dun dun dun dun

Chihuahua

dun uh dun dun dun dun


Jason walked across the deck of the Argo when the loud-speaker squeaked.

"EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT TO THE DINNING HALL NOW, LIKE RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU!"

All Jason could think was 'What is he up to now?' He ran to the dining hall where he found everyone was already gathered around waiting for the announcement.

"Ok guys, this is very important. We each need a theme song." Leo stated.

"Um Leo, we don't..." Hazel started.

"No this is of up most importance!" Leo finished her thought in the wrong direction.

"Well, what's yours?" Annabeth asked coldly.

"If you must know, it's Girl on Fire." Leo said smugly.

"Girl?" Frank laughed.

"Oh Frank, you know what I mean. Also, I wouldn't be laughing Piper, I already picked your songs, knowing this would happen." Leo said mockingly.

"OH MY GODS! Wait, which one? Piper asked.

"Who says, by Selena Gomez." Leo stated with a serious face.

"Did he just say..." Piper tried to ask.

"Yes beauty queen, you heard me right. And before you kill me, let me tell these others theirs." Leo begged.

"Fine!" Piper mumbled angrily.

"Well, Jason yours is Honestly, by Hot Chelle Rae." Leo laughed.

"Wait, isn't song about someone leaving his crazy girlfriend?" Jason asked.

"That's the one!" Leo admitted.

"But, oh..." That rewarded Jason with a slap to the face.

"Nico, yours is Gives You Hell." Leo said waiting for a reaction.

"Cool" Was all he got.

"Annabeth, your song is Control, by MJ" Leo continued.

"Wait, are you saying I'm a control freak!" Annabeth yelled.

"Listen to the song Annabeth, that's all I can say." Leo tried to spare himself from being pulverized.

"Frank, yours is Hall of Fame." Leo stated.

"Wait, I'll be in the Hall of Fame, for what?" Frank asked excited.

"Guys these aren't all literal, just listen to the songs!" Leo tried to explain.

"Percy, oh Percy, your song would be Loser Like Me, from Glee!" Leo said with enthusiasm.

"Should I feel this insulted?" Percy asked.

"No, it's about how the losers of today become totally famous and awesome!" Leo explained.

"Hey, that is my life." Percy perked up.

"Last but not least, Hazel, your song is She's so Gone, by Lemonade Mouth." Leo finished.

"Wait, what's it about?" Hazel asked.

"It's about how this girl changed from shy to awesome!"

"Leo, when did you watch Lemonade Mouth?" Piper laughed.

"Um at camp, it looked good!" Leo tried to defend himself.

"Sure."
